Am concerned we have no success in developing a pick like this but betting it’s a new day under Winger.


More likely Bilal forces his way out. :lol:

Cam out of the lottery. This is so wild.

I can't remember a time something like this has happened since Michael Porter Jr. But he had a well-documented and seriou back problem. What is it with Whitmore?

Would you trade for Podziemski, with Atlanta #15 pick, if the price is Kispert and a 2nd rnd pick?

Bufkin at 15. Whitmore in free fall. That’s crazy

Still love Podziemski, Clowney, Cissoko, even Sensabaugh is still out there.

Who's the last guys to fall this fall in a draft?

I'm struggling to think ? Lot of guys who in hind sight should have gone higher but I can't remember the last time a guy was projected 4 and fell this far.

If he gets past the Jazz something serious is wrong with him.

Question - with the way Cam Whitmore is dropping, should Winger and co. try to move back into R1 and get him? Not like we don't have a plethora of 2nd round picks to incentivize a deal.

Hi Mohammed, long time!

I think Bol Bol was invited to the green room....went 44.

Note that Bilas is pointing to Bufkin's late season play -- kudos to you on that awolf!

Yeah I remember that now! Didn't he leave before he was picked? Or am I thinking of an NFL thing.

Wife's taking over the TV for a while.

I love the pick and that he already used one of the 2nd rounders to insure he got his very young man.

Nat will hate this but I'd look long and hard at Trayce J-D with the 35th pick.
He might just be NBA ready now. He's old enough, the opposite of Bilal.

#35 GG Jackson - 18 advanced numbers are not good but he's athletic with a good shooting mechanic.

#42 Amari baily - good defender, efficient 19 high effort guy

#57 Nadir Hifi - jerret Jackson plus! 20 possible draft and stash whole we sort out our PG situation.
